Description & Features

Looking for an easy-to-understand method to teach analogies with plenty of practice? This 56-page book teaches students how to analyze and classify analogies by relationship, category, and structure. Students who learn strategies to make and complete analogies benefit in many ways. They sharpen their reasoning skills as they analyze the subtleties of language and relationship presented in analogies. As students learn to understand simple word analogies, they move toward understanding more complex analogous relationships presented in literature, science, and history. Analogies are also a key component of many assessment and ability tests.

Think Analogies® A1 begins with an exploration of word relationships. Students classify word groups and form pairs of related items, and then identify types of analogous relationships and classify them. Finally, they select and supply words and word pairs to complete analogies.

"Think Analogies A1...teaches how to approach analogies. Many books give analogies for the student to practice solving analogies, but they don't teach how to THINK in an analogous way." - Chris, Santa Clara, CA
